The City of Springfield is excited to announce the near completion of the William A. Batson Parkway Extension, which will soon be open to the public. This significant development will connect Memorial Blvd. and Tom Austin Highway, offering residents a convenient new route.
To improve safety and manage traffic flow effectively, a four-way stop will be implemented at the intersection of Blackpatch Drive and William A. Batson Parkway. This change is designed to enhance safety in the Blackpatch area by promoting safer travel and preparing for the anticipated increase in traffic on the new bypass.
The City of Springfield appreciates the community’s patience and cooperation during this transition. Drivers are encouraged to stay aware of the upcoming traffic configuration and prepare to follow all posted signs and signals once it takes effect.
